Welcome to your relaxing getaway! Whether you are coming here to ski Whiteface the Olympic Mountain, Hike, fish, bike or just breathe in the mountain air we invite you to spend time at our cabin.
After decades of spending time in the Adirondacks it was time to find a place we could go to unwind. In the 1940s, 2 small cabins were brought up from the nearby town of Jay and made into one. We purchased the cabin in early 2017 and spent over a year renovating it and making it a truly comfortable, peaceful retreat. In the great room you will see some of the original character of the cabin.
The cabin is located approximately 2 miles from Whiteface Mountain. The mountain can be seen from part of our property and with some tree removal this summer we hope to have even more of a view.
The cabin has 2 cozy bedrooms each with a full size log bed. There is one completely renovated bathroom with a shower stall.
The living room comes complete with 2 leather chair and a halfs and a full size couch and is where you will find the TV. The television sits on top of a media center complete with an electric fireplace for a chilly fall night when you might not want the heat on in the whole house and also has a built in bluetooth speaker.
The kitchen is large and comes complete with all the dishes, cookware and utensils you will need to cook your relaxing vacation meals. The Appliances are new and the counters are all made from local walnut slabs. There is a table in the kitchen that comfortably seats 4.
As you face the kitchen sink you will look out onto the great room which has a long walnut bar area where 4 additional stools are located. This room is over 600 sq. ft and has a pull out full size futon, new cozy sectional and a large comfy chair and a half. You will have no trouble finding a good spot to sit while you are here. Lots of board games are located in this area.
Outside, there is front deck equipped with wonderful outdoor furniture for you to relax on and patio/pergola with a dining table and chairs for 6 people. There is a gas grill to cook food for everyone.
In the warmer months you can set up the hammock and enjoy the nature that surrounds you. A fire pit is located to the side of your house and there is some wood provided you when we are able to round up some on our property. Otherwise, you can purchase bundles at many spots along the local roads for $5 to $7.
The town of Wilmington is only 1.5 miles down the road where you will find our convenience store/gas station and a few restaurants in town as well all needed amenities 10 miles away in Lake Placid.
There is the flume trail system for walking/mountain biking approximately 1.5 miles away.
Lake Placid is 10 miles away offering restaurants, shops and all the fun of the Olympic sites from 1980.
You can access the high peaks and hike many of the 46 high peak mountains within a 10 mile drive of the cabin.
The Ausable river flows close by and offers some of the best fly fishing around. Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have.
